Macao, Portugal's 400-year-old colony across the Pearl River estuary from Hong Hong, returned to Chinese sovereignty at midnight on December 19th-20th last. Considering that the place is tiny — eight miles from end to end, pop. 450,000 — and has no discernible economy — gambling and prostitution are the staples — and that the Portuguese... Read More

The indispensable Michael Kelly, writing in the New York Post (12/8/99, p.41), deplores the silence of the U.S. government in the face of a massive ethnic cleansing currently under way in Kosovo, this time "conducted by the Albanians against their ethnic Serb, Croatian, Roma and Muslim Slavic neighbors." I certainly share Mr Kelly's indignation; but... Read More

Western reporting on China's problems with her minorities tends to concentrate on Tibet. The spectacle of a picturesque and eccentric culture (the Younghusband expedition of 1904 found that the Tibetan official they were dealing with bore the title "Grand Metaphysician") being stomped into the dust by a brutish and amoral despotism naturally arouses our sympathy....

Of the British poet Philip Larkin, one obituarist observed that while Larkin's verse could not be faulted on technical grounds, he still could never be admitted to the front rank of poets because his work did not affirm anything. The novelist Rick Moody inspires some similar reflection. Though very accomplished, in what I think we... Read More

The greatest human calamity of our century — greater than the Holocaust, greater than World War Two itself — was the famine that swept China in the "three bad years" 1959-61. At least thirty million died. For a long time the Chinese authorities and their shills in the West denied that there had been a... Read More

I donated sperm a few years ago and couldn't believe how quickly my stuff "sold out."
California Cryobank was the company I used and they tend to end up with a lot of mystery meat jizz sitting around.

Certainly the widespread use of hormonal birth control has effected mating choices in America. females on the pill are less likely to marry masculine men than females who avoided taking hormones to fake pregnancy.

Yeah, that too. But it officially becomes a war of all against all of the sort Wolfe describes when the losers realize they've been had, that virtually all public policy is essentially a scam to funnel money upwards to the (((financial sector))), and reform is impossible.

I need you to explain that. So there are say 35 million white Americans with IQs if 110 to 125 of whom 20 million are of working age. How many are unemployed or underemployed? Of those how many are affected by affirmative action (not H-1B I note: that's different) which gives jobs to blacks or...

I am feeling the love and abundance of our universe.
The transcendence of humanity is very near.
Whether through IQ uplift or AI Singularity, our quest to touch infinity is close.
It is such a high honor to be present to watch this transformation of our species to something magical.
I have n...

Can’t you complain about CNN? They put screens with CNN up in some of the university cafeterias the day after 9/11.
After a couple years no one could stand it anymore people complained and the screens. came down.
People have complained about CNN in dr offices and got them changed to natur...

There are tens of millions of White Americans with 110 to 125 IQs
All we need to do is end affirmative action so they can get jobs marry and have children.
As it is now, IQ skills etc don’t matter only race matters

The meat packers big farmers and chain restaurants have 8oo numbers plastered in villages all over Central America.
The villagers call the number and arrangements are made for them to be snuggled into the US and right to the workplace

Not really.
It was the unholy coalition of ambitious middle class commie Jews and black criminals that destroyed NYC Chicago parts of Los Angeles, Detroit Cleveland Philly on and on all our great cities. A satanic coalition of Jewish liberals and black criminals against the law abiding

Jim Garrison should have been disbarred for what he did to Clay Shaw. During the Cold War, virtually every American who traveled to soviet countries was debriefed by our intelligence agencies.
Saw the movie on TV. It was a hoot. The Garrison character never did mention a specific thing ...

Exactly. Fraudianism delayed the discovery of mental illness medication for 100 years. In another 100 years Dr Fraud will be just a paragraph in the history books.
Reason Dr Fraud put all the emphasis on sex is that he knew sex sells.

Freud was nothing Medical science has discovered medication to not really cure but alleviate the symptoms of mental illness to the point that it doesn’t affect the lives of those with mental illness.
His talk about your sex life cure wasn’t a cure at all. It was just a scam and a fraud. ...

First, the attack on Sherman wasn’t in Harlem It was in the Bronx on the way to Manhatten from the airport

Favorite Trollop novel is The Way We Live Now. Can’t stand those bishops and their wives novels especially Dorothea.
The CofE clergy made a good living and it was a prestige job, but what a way of life.

Actually, the 1880s big leap to America of Jews in Russia and adjacent territories was activated by granting civil liberties to Jews
Along with civil liberties came civil
responsibilities such as the draft from which Jews had previously been exempt.
It wasn’t progroms and anti semitisn ...

50 years ago it was 1968. Young women of that time were well-nourished but not fat. They grew their hair as long as they could get it, and long hair is a sexual attractor. The use of the pill was not very common in unmarried women at that time, so the average young women did not give off horm...

When the average male is revolted by the natural female body with unshaved pubes, no breast implants, no makeup, and with a few extra pounds, he's not going to breed children. You have to be attracted to this type of woman to become a father multiple times. There's no way to do it otherwise. T...

On the other hand, the heritability of leftism, at least as it expresses itself in today's current political climate, may change in the future. We may soon (or at least someday) have a supercomputer/AI that can tell us, with certainty, that some individuals and/or races have inferior or superior ...
